more likely to be raped in college and in the real world. i don't think people did that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. girl complaining about the son of the long. gives millions of dollars to the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school of schools that make money based decisions are much more common than they would ever admit publicly. japan's defense ministry has revealed it's paid out nearly four million dollars in compensation over the past decade fox events and crimes involving american military personnel around fifty thousand u.s.
1:16 am
troops served in japan in the last ten years now under an agreement japan has to pay a quarter of compensation for incidents that occur during your u.s. military duties even if it has nothing to do with them and it turns out that thousands of crimes have been committed by u.s. stuff in that time almost twenty million dollars was paid out in compensation nearly four million of that by japan victim of one of those crimes catherine. joins us now live from tokyo thank you very much for joining us here naughty international now your story is a harrowing one can you share with us what happened. well in two thousand and two i was raped by united states military servicemen and at that time i thought that perhaps i was the only person who was a victim and then i i did so much research and i have i have this here before me is the list of nine hundred forty five the this is only the rape cases alone that have happened since the one nine hundred forty s.
1:17 am
and the list you can see is quite extensive here they're happening like every every month or every couple of weeks and and i actually put this list. and i brought it you can see it's not that large but you can see i've written on on some sheets here and what is what is on the list goes on it's all a lot of this is enough this would be these a list of just the right crimes and hour. and that would probably my would probably be quibbling to a twenty four store story building so how many of these. investigated properly do you believe i mean what happened in your case properly well let's say for example since the nine hundred fifty s. there's been about two hundred thousand crimes and accidents that have been caused by united states military service men. and in my case. you know nobody wanted to help me nobody wanted to listen and the united states
1:18 am
military has claimed and has blatantly told the entire world that they are a zero tolerance to rape cases. and they're helping rape victims but that is completely the opposite they have not helped me at all. and it took me twelve years but i actually wrote to. my my life story of the last twelve years which is katherine jane and i do hope that it can be published in russia so people all around the world will know you know the truth of what has been happening catherine what you will now what do you remember catherine in terms of the legal process. the legal process. it took me three years to win in the courts of japan in a civil court case. the criminal court case was not i was not able to pursue a criminal court case here and i realized later that was big due to the secret
1:19 am
agreement that japan has i believe with the united states military and when i took out a civil court case against the man who raped me he fled the country and for the last ten years i hunted him down by myself and found him and then i took a court case in the united states and twelve years later. the rapist had sent to the courts of milwaukee wisconsin to say that during my court case in japan the united states military had blatantly sent him out of the country which in fact boycotted my case but i did win the case and so i decided to take the case in the united states and he he had told the courts of the united states that they had sent him away to the united states so i just wanted to win this case and so i asked my legal team in america what is the way that i can just win this case immediately
1:20 am
and that was if i sacrifice the money which i did i sacrificed all the money that he owed me so he would. if in exchange that he would say that he actually would allow me to win that case would which would prove that i had won in the united states and in japan and i sacrificed it so i could make a statement to the world i sacrificed it for one u.s. dollar why do you have so i don't make people like him are able to get away with with crimes like this. well i think that it's a complete cover up it's a complete cover up in the way that it would destroy the reputation of the united states military if they so called trying to fight against terrorism when they are terrorizing civilians themselves and a lot of us the rape victims. all the murder victims and i will be able to say this
1:21 am
because through experience because i have met with the families of japanese who have there for example whose wives have been murdered by united states military servicemen and we are treated as the criminal and we sold that we should not pursue these cases and why can't we pursue cases like this and a lot of the women who are raped in this country are very reluctant to come forward because we are turned away by the police there's not even one twenty four hour rape crisis center government funded and so that is another thing that myself as a rape victim i have been trying to enforce and establish in this country even to get a twenty four hour crisis center established here in japan by the united states by the japanese government and various occasions i had to meet with the japanese government and of asked them to set up you know an extensive. team sensitive crime
1:22 am
scene inside the japanese government to handle cases and they apologized and said well i'm sorry but we don't have any expertise in this field but with my research i've done for the last twelve years i could very easily introduce them to the proper victimologist who would be able to assist us in this manner but nobody is ready to listen to any of the advice that i have researched for the last twelve years or to any anything whatsoever and everything yes thank you very much for your . time is a going to ask the author of the true story of war make you know justice thank you very much for your time. thank you. for news now from around the world in brazil presidential candidate eduardo compass has died in a plane crash along with four other passengers and two pilots in a private jet came down in bad weather in a residential area in the port city of santos on the ground six people including

1:24 am
the globe and it's becoming increasingly difficult for businesses to navigate through those ever changing rules and. but the more complicated it gets the more job opportunities for those who now work at the u.s. treasury sanctions experts are up for grabs by banks investment firms and consulting companies who want to steer clear of violations violations can be very costly these days for example french bank b.n.p. recently agreed to pay an almost nine billion dollars fine for violating u.s. sanctions by processing banned transactions involving sudan and iran and cuba deutsche bank a g.'s on the investigation for potential violations of u.s. sanctions the bank now plans to hire about five hundred compliance risk and technology employees in the u.s. h.s.b.c. which two years ago agreed to pay almost two billion dollars to settle anti money laundering probes in the u.s. now has at least seven former obama administration treasury officials working on
1:25 am
financial crime or sanctions related issues is now among the most active banks hiring from the government obviously private sector pays more by the way we reached out to a number of former treasury employees so now work at major corporations they either declined or never responded to the u.s. government's ever expanding list of sanctions may cause headaches to businesses but it also provides well paying career opportunities for those who helped compose those sanctions in washington i'm going to check on our team. the number of global individuals and businesses bond by the u.s. is nearing six thousand and that's good news for the banks and investment firms paid to find ways around the intricacies of the rules but no five which consumers as libertarian economist knew wrote well explains. you know that the crony kind of system we've got so you have big companies big banks to start with you could look for big business. and big government against the rest of the so it's not a healthy system it's really. economic reform fascism this is true of the centers
1:26 am
for disease control it's true of the federal trade commission of movie going down the consumer product safety commission but now in the worst of all these regulatory agencies the employees who are involved in creating the regulation go to work for those because the so i would say you know all the bad people are benefiting the good people are being hurt and sanctions are the harley wrong apparently immoral as international law is always held by the way this is the equivalent of bombing somebody because there are very very serious dangerous rotten things that the u.s. government to do or. remind of our breaking news from just in missouri weapon leases struggling to contain riots which are now into the fourth night i'm great crowds protesting if a police department young arrest follows saturday's fatal shooting of unarmed teenager michael brown by an officer he's killing has any sense locals who have
